[Namron] For the "Elves" at Yule

Sat Oct 29 18:29:13 PDT 2011

Greetings All,

Since I haven't seen a list start up to address the children who would be attending this years Yule in order the for the Elves to have a headcount, I thought I would go ahead and start one now as Genevria suggested.

      Greetings,

I know many questions are out there about the Yule plans and I hope all of

your questions will be answered shortly. If I have missed anything, or you

think of something new you need to know please just let me know. You can

reach me by email, or by phone at 405.470.6781.

"My goal for this event is to create the ambiance of a castle hall in period

Europe where we have all gathered to celebrate the Winter holidays." Those

are my words from my original bid and it is with that in mind that I have

made the other plans. No more specific theme has been planned outside of our

desire to share in the joy of the season with our friends and family in the

SCA. Below you will find the most recent version of the schedule.

We will be painting banners on Thursday Nov 3 at 6:30 p.m. I am still

waiting to here if we will be able to meet for this at the church. I think

it will work out and this will give us an opportunity to take a short tour

around the church before the event. I still need a digital copy of the

baronial badge so we can be ready to use the projector to get the pattern on

the banners. A volunteer to do it free hand will work too.

My understanding is that the following Thursday there will be a gate class

by our reeve. Check with Aldric for further information.

We have included time on the schedule for several classes. If you are

interested in being an instructor please let me know so we can get you on

the schedule. This is also a good time to set up a consultation table if you

prefer to work one on one rather than in a classroom setting. please also

let me know if there is a class you are interested in taking. If I know you

have an interest I may be able to find an instructor. 

Most of you already know about chocolate roulette. We are also going to have

other games and entertainments set up through the afternoon. You are also

all invited to bring chess or other games to play in the hall during the

event. I have a couple of 9 man Morris games and a chess board, but this is

a great opportunity for us to learn more about period games.

The Crown will be present at yule, and that has affected our plans. A

Pelican circle will be held in the afternoon. We will also be having an

elevation to the Order of the Laurel, (YEA Ciaran!) which also includes a

vigil in the afternoon as well as extended time in court. The presence of

royalty increases the responsibilities of our Baron and Baroness and they

may need extra entourage to meet all those responsibilities. Please consider

speaking to them, or Cadlah (royal liaison for our B&B) about helping out.

Due to all of the important Court business, we have had to cancel the

planned dessert banquet that was to follow court. Instead we will be serving

these goodies through out the day. Everyone is invited to bring other treats

to share.

Our MOC is making big plans for the children. Father Christmas and his elves

will also be making an appearance in the afternoon. The elves have requested

that we let them know about the children we know will be attending ahead of

time. Reservations are not required, only requested.

Please also think about bringing an ornament for our ornament exchange. I

came across a lovely beaded bell this weekend and I plan to bring it for my

contribution. Everyone who wishes to participate will bring one ornament to

contribute to the decorating of a tree, and then will be invited to choose

another ornament to take home at the end of the day.

I am looking for bards and musicians to help with the entertainment and

ambiance for the hall. Please let me know if you are interested in playing,

and also if you have any suggestions about SCA appropriate carols we can all

sing.

There will also be a need for less glamorous duties. We need to remember

that we are the hosts of this event and that it is our responsibility to

keep the hall and other areas picked up through the day. Restrooms will need

to be cleaned, and all the other messy clean up chores. If we all do a

little, it will be light work for all.

Almost finished here, I promise. :) We will be having many of our guests

coming from out of town. If you have crash space available, please let me

know. I promise to be discrete and give you a private veto to anyone before

I just send them to your house. Crash space can be anything from a guest

room to floor space for people to bring their own bedding, you pick. Again,

please let me know if you have space available, and if not me, then at least

your friends and family. :).

In Service,

Genevria
